Candied Sweet Potatoes

• 3 medium Sweet potatoes (about 1 pound
• 3 tbs brown sugar
• 1 tbs butter

Cook fresh sweet potatoes, covered, in enough boiling water to cover for 25 to 35 minutes or till tender. Drain: cool slightly. Peel: cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

In a 1-quart casserole layer half of the potatoes, half of the brown sugar and half of the butter. Repeat layers. Bake in a 375º oven for 30 to 35 minutes or till potatoes are glazed, spooning liquid over potatoes once or twice.

If desired, sprinkle with nuts or marshmallows. Bake for 5 minutes more. Makes 4 servings.
